Father Amaro, a young Roman Catholic priest, is a new arrival in a small Mexican town. Assigned to help the older Father Benito, Amaro gradually discovers that his elder is not only involved in an affair, but also building a hospital with help from a local drug czar. Struggling with temptation and sin in his own right, Amaro begins a romance with Amelia, a beautiful teen who dotes on him -- but the relationship has dire consequences.
